Sales Detail
Anglesea has an estimated 3,172 residents, down from 3,208 at the 2021 Census — a change of 36 people, or 1.1%. Density is about 33 people per square kilometre. Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.
Detail
According to the latest ABS population statistics and address checks conducted by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Anglesea has an estimated population of 3,172 as of May 2026. This represents a reduction of 36 residents (1.1%) from the 2021 Census, when the count stood at 3,208 people. The estimate is based on the resident population of 3,171, derived by AreaSearch using the June 2025 ABS ERP release and 19 validated new addresses registered since the Census. This population level yields a density of 32 persons per square kilometer, which ensures a spacious living environment.
Over the last ten years, the suburb of Anglesea has shown steady growth with a compound annual rate of 1.9%, exceeding the Rest of Vic.. Population gains were mostly driven by overseas migration, which served as the primary source of growth in recent times. AreaSearch utilises projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for SA2 regions, published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. For SA2 areas without direct coverage, projections from the 2023 Victoria State Government release are adjusted using a weighted aggregation method from LGA to SA2 levels. Projected age group growth rates from these compilations are extended to all regions for the years 2032 to 2041. Based on these demographic forecasts, growth is expected to align with the lower quartile of regional areas nationwide, with the suburb of Anglesea projected to add 50 persons by 2041 under aggregated SA2-level estimates, representing a 1.5% total increase over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
95 new dwellings have been approved in Anglesea over the past five years, an average of 19 a year. That is 6.0 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 8, well below that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this Suburb (SAL) boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
AreaSearch's analysis of ABS building approvals indicates that the suburb of Anglesea averages approximately 19 new home approvals annually, with an estimated total of 95 approvals over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, and 8 approvals recorded in FY-26 so far. The ratio of 1.5 new residents per year for each approved dwelling over the 5 financial years between FY-21 and FY-25 suggests a healthy equilibrium between housing supply and demand. More recent data for the past 2 financial years shows a decline to -0.3 people per dwelling, reflecting a more balanced state of supply.
The average construction value of new properties is $1,088,000, indicating that developers are focusing on the higher-end, premium sector. Furthermore, commercial approvals totaling $9.1 million were recorded this financial year, highlighting the residential focus of the area. Compared to Rest of Vic., building approvals in the suburb of Anglesea are significantly lower, standing at 65.0% below the regional average per capita. This constrained supply pipeline typically underpins demand and values for existing properties. Detached houses account for 89.0% of the new construction, while medium and high-density dwellings make up the remaining 11.0%, preserving the low-density, family-oriented layout of the area. A ratio of 577 people per dwelling approval reflects a highly subdued development landscape. Long-term forecasts suggest the suburb of Anglesea will add 49 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. The current construction pace appears sufficient to satisfy this projected demand, which supports favorable conditions for buyers and may enable the population to expand beyond current projections.

Frequently Asked Questions - Infrastructure
Anglesea Community and Health Hub Precinct Plan
Surf Coast Shire Council has adopted a concept plan for the long-term renewal of the Anglesea McMillan Street community and health precinct. The plan keeps the precinct in council ownership and proposes upgraded community, occasional care, health and medical facilities, a green heart space for events and markets, retained heritage elements, improved wayfinding and some affordable rental housing for local key workers. The project is in the next-step design development and funding phase, with further community engagement expected once funding is secured.
Eden Project Anglesea
A concept for a world-class eco-tourism attraction on the former Alcoa coal mine site at Anglesea, Victoria. Proposed by Eden Project International, the $150 million development would occupy approximately 40 hectares and immerse 750,000 projected annual visitors in elements of earth, air, water and fire themed around the coastal landscape of the Great Ocean Road. The project was actively progressed until mid-2024 when Eden Project International formally paused development while site rehabilitation and the mine void water-filling strategy remain unresolved.Alcoa submitted a groundwater licence amendment application to Southern Rural Water in July 2024 to advance the water-filling strategy, which is a prerequisite for key elements of the concept. No planning application has been lodged with the Victorian Government. Alcoa continues to pursue mine rehabilitation and closure approvals independently of the Eden concept.
Anglesea Mine Rehabilitation and Eden Project Concept
Rehabilitation and closure of Alcoa's former coal mine and power station site, featuring a Mine Water Filling Strategy to create a safe pit lake over the next decade. The site is also earmarked for the proposed $150 million Eden Project Anglesea, a world-class ecotourism attraction projected to generate substantial regional economic and environmental benefits.
Anglesea Kindergarten Infrastructure Planning Project
The Victorian School Building Authority awarded Surf Coast Shire Council a Building Blocks Planning Grant of $110,000 in the 2023 funding round to plan the expansion or upgrade of kindergarten facilities in Anglesea. The planning work will prepare designs and costs to increase places for local 3 and 4 year olds at Anglesea Kindergarten, with any construction subject to future funding.
The Villas

Funded through the Safe Local Roads and Streets Program (Department of Transport and Planning with TAC). Project value about $389,000 with practical completion recorded 27 June 2025.
Debonair Development (Anglesea)
Completed multi-residential coastal development opposite Anglesea Surf Life Saving Club. Designed by Carr, the Debonair project comprises approximately 14 dwellings configured as beach houses/townhouses and apartments. Homes are strata titled and continue to trade and be leased as established stock along the Great Ocean Road.
Jan-Juc Supermarket & Residential
A $10 million two-storey mixed-use development that will establish Jan Juc's first supermarket. The project includes an 845 sqm boutique supermarket and bottle shop on the ground floor with basement parking, alongside six residential dwellings on the first floor. It has secured planning approval following a favourable VCAT decision.
1,540 residents of Anglesea are employed, from a labour force of 1,582. Unemployment sits at 2.7%, with participation at 56.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.9% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,712, about 86% of the resident population, so more people leave the area for work than travel in. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Based on AreaSearch's compiled statistics, the suburb of Anglesea has a highly qualified workforce with a strong concentration in professional services and an unemployment rate of only 2.7%. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 1,540, and the unemployment rate was 1.0% below the Regional Vic. average of 3.7%. Participation in the labor force is below average, sitting at 56.7% compared to 61.1% in Regional Vic.. Census data showed that a high proportion of residents, 35.4%, worked from home, although this figure was likely influenced by pandemic restrictions. The primary employment sectors for local residents are healthcare & social assistance, education & training, and construction.
There is a strong concentration in professional & technical services, which employs residents at 2.2 times the regional average rate. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing is underrepresented at 1.0% of the workforce compared to the regional average of 7.5%. The balance between the Census working population and resident population suggests a shortage of local jobs. According to AreaSearch's evaluation of SALM and ABS statistics, the workforce contracted by 1.7% and total employment fell by 1.8% over the 12-month period, raising the local unemployment rate by 0.2 percentage points. In contrast, Regional Vic. saw a minor employment contraction of 0.1%, a 0.3% drop in the labor force, and a 0.2 percentage point decline in unemployment. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment projections from May-25 offer additional perspective on future labor demand. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though individual sector growth rates vary. Applying these sector projections to the local workforce mix suggests employment in the suburb of Anglesea could grow by 6.9% over five years and 14.0% over ten years.

How the numbers are built
Population
The Census provides the small-area baseline, aggregated from mesh blocks to this boundary. It is then re-based to the ABS Estimated Resident Population (June 2025 release), and new dwellings built since Census night are counted from address data — 19 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,208 at the 2021 Census → 3,172 now). Annual growth rates are compound (CAGR), not simple averages.
Age profile
Cohort shares are not raw Census counts. Every cohort is held as a pair — the Census baseline and a current estimate — and the split is re-based using ERP and state population projections, current to May 2026. Median age is the Census median plus modelled change since. Charts that show both are labelled "2021 Census vs Current Estimate".
Property sales
Sourced from the state valuation authority's sales register — current, not Census, and refreshed weekly. Medians are calculated from settled transactions in the period shown; periods with very low transaction counts are flagged or suppressed, because a handful of sales can move a median substantially.
Rents
Derived from state rental bond lodgement data, by dwelling type and bedroom count. Bonds are lodged at the start of a new tenancy, so this reflects new lettings, not the whole rented stock.
Development & infrastructure
Building approvals come from current ABS releases; development applications are collected from council and state planning portals; the infrastructure pipeline is compiled from Infrastructure Australia and local government sources. Applications are matched to this boundary by address or coordinates, so very recent lodgements may not yet appear.
Employment & income
Industry and occupation structure comes from the Census, but the headline labour-market indicators do not. Unemployment and labour force are derived from ABS Small Area Labour Markets (quarterly). The employment outlook applies Department of Employment forecasts for all 19 industry divisions to this area's own industry mix (the agency is now Jobs and Skills Australia), as does the Internet Vacancy Index used for job demand. Because it is weighted on industry composition alone, that outlook carries no allowance for local population growth — in fast-growing areas the real rise in local jobs will typically be higher. Income combines Census household income with ATO taxable-income statistics for FY 2023, indexed forward using the Wage Price Index.
Education, transport & amenities
School enrolments, ICSEA and performance come from ACARA's current release, not the Census. Public transport stops and service frequency are derived from GTFS timetable feeds published by state transport departments. Services and amenities are proximity and count scores built from provider directories, refreshed on their own cycle. The Census contributes only the travel-to-work and qualification measures.
Rankings and benchmarks. Where we rank this area, the comparison set is every area of the same boundary type — suburbs against suburbs, SA2s against SA2s. Benchmarks compare this area against its greater capital city region and the national figure for the same measure and period.
Limits worth knowing. Small areas carry larger error margins, and the ABS introduces small random adjustments to Census counts to protect confidentiality — so totals may not sum exactly. Estimates re-based from regional data describe the area's expected trajectory, not a direct count of it. Figures are indicative for research and are not financial, planning or valuation advice.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL20046). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
